Default Re: teardown photos from BG in the 70's

Those pics are probably not from the same year (they may be but I am not sure).
Bill Truby was there racing, shooting photos and spectating several years in the 70's. (he provided the BG photos).

I have included photos I've collected from Doug Chyborak (Rezac photo) and Mike Gagnon (cook photo) also.

Okay then it is Ray (Tex) Cook in the photo. We only lost class at Bowling Green once due to the "steel belted radial" incident. And then R.T. Barrett got the B/SA win with his six pack e body. I remember the corvettes of Ken Bugaj and Von Cassidy They both ran fast as "hell" but had breakage problems. Back then they had to run the stock independant rear.,.
The race we got tossed at we took Norman Blake (photographer) with us. When we got tossed we never went back to the track just went to the motel picked up our stuff and headed home.
We forgot that Norman was at the track (oh well). We didn't think about him till we were about 300 miles away. Luckily he got a ride home with someone else.
After we got home we were dispondent to say the least. Gregg X called us up and explained how to add the weight, and not get caught. And we never had any problems after that. A lot of people considered Gregg X the enemy after that day he was one of our closest friends
Boy those were the days "FLASH FLASH" nhra using common sense

PS the car in the photo never got tossed

The black Comet in the picture is Judy McCormack's car. Harry's car was a white W/S.
